Elizabeth had her mother, The queen mother,
helping her for the first 50 years of her reign.
I bet Charles wishes he had someone like that helping him now.
He has been in training for over 50 years.
Maybe that will help, but he needs wisdom.
I think it would be hard to get rid of the monarchy
without getting rid of the House of Lords too.
They’re tied together by default aren’t they?
I looked up the House of Lords on Wikipedia.
Yeah I know it’s Wikipedia, but still.
I didn’t realize the House of Lords was so complicated.
It shows the number of seats in the House of Lords is 756.
And it’s not just a bunch of Earls and Dukes.
It’s a whole bunch of other people too.
He’s about 73 years old, and has lived at the center of the Monarchy all his life! He also had the most experienced head of state in the world training him.
If he doesn’t have ‘wisdom’ yet, I’m not sure how he’ll get it :-)
Charles has a history of arrogance and entitlement thus he hasn’t been well liked by many. I should think in his 70’s now he’s mellowed that to some degree. But even if so he so often comes across as a dimwit!
